Creativity
To make a thing with hand and mind
is really quite a gift.
To share it with another 's kind,
that two hearts it may lift.

An earring made of polyclay,
a hatpin, and French wire
can give a friend a wondrous day
a-lifting spirits higher.

To knit a scarf is really nice,
and if one has great speed,
then winter's warmer once or twice,
fulfilling this true need.

To paint a scene with oils, pastels,
or watercolor joy
bespeaks great thoughts most tongues can't tell,
great wisdom to employ.

To decorate for the holidays
requires effusive hearts,
the ones, who work for more than praise
with love in all their starts.
